People Are That Dumb

We’ve all said, "nobody can be that dumb." Yes, they can and they are. In a report from Yahoo Finance, Kelly Eggers wrote a story about dumb things people have said during job interviews.

There was one candidate that he was going through anger management because he had hit a co-worker at his last job. He did suggest that he would like to work from home in the future.

A woman said she would be great at the job, but talked incredibly slow. The recruiter said she talked so slow, he wanted to pull the words out of her mouth. When asked if she always talked so slowly, she said, "Oh, yes. I take Xanax before a meeting or a presentation because I get so nervous. I don’t think I’m doing poorly, do you?"

There were others like the guy who interviewed at a non-profit and told them he had once locked a mentally ill patient in a room to teach him a lesson. And, then there’s the woman who explained that she wanted to be a nurse after her husband had passed away. She wanted to be a good role model for her children. The recruiter praised her for her accomplishments and assured her that her husband would be proud. The woman replied that her husband had not been a good role model. He had been killed in a drug deal that went bad.

To quote Bill Engval, "Here’s your sign."
